Dear Russ,

We have MPC5200Lite board running DENX Linux 2.4.25 with Fujitsu CoralP 
video card.
To have have the USB keyboard as system stdin, the only thing I have 
done is to remove "console" args from kernel command line. I use the 
following command lines:

1)To have the console output on serial line and screen, and the input on 
serial line:

root=/dev/nfs rw ip=on console=tty console=ttyS0 init=/sbin/init

2) To have the console input on the USB keyboard and the output on the 
screen:

root=/dev/nfs rw ip=on init=/sbin/init

I have atached our kernel configuration.

Hope this helps.
